Cheyenne Mountain.
Amidst the endless mountain range was the last fortress of the United States.
More than 200 internal networks composed of ultra-large and large-scale computers and more than 600 dedicated communication lines. In addition, the data obtained by all military satellites, civil satellites, air radar early warning systems, and ground radar early warning systems were also summarized here. In addition, the command center also had hundreds of backup hotlines that could keep in touch with the President of the UA, the Pentagon, major commands, Canada, and major military bases around the world.
Although this fortress was located deep in the mountains, its reach was far beyond the reach of traditional military commands. As long as he sat here, the President of the UA could command the UA Army, Navy, and Air Force, and call on the UA to take up arms to resist the invasion of Celestial Trade.
Unit 721 was responsible for the defense of this area. Including several non-staff squads, the total number of troops exceeded 1,500, equivalent to half a brigade. Considering the strength of Celestial Trade, the UA also deployed a special mountain brigade mixed with "Sea Beast" power armors to guard against Celestial Trade's orbital airborne troops.
Although the more than 400 meters thick granite and several layers of steel reinforcement above the base gave them absolute confidence, the UA, who had already suffered once, did not dare to take it lightly this time.
Once Cheyenne Mountain fell, even if the UA refused to surrender, all the resistance forces would become scattered after losing the command of the federal government …
It was night.
Heavy rain fell from the sky, and visibility in the entire foothills was reduced to a minimum. The early warning aircraft at the nearby airport could not take off, so the UA had to double the number of troops to patrol. At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that Celestial Trade's air force could not fly in this area, the UA seized the time to repair radars, anti-aircraft missiles, and cannons.
The light of flashlights flickered on and off the mountain, and the UA soldiers with loaded guns lined up and carefully searched every corner of the mountain. However, under the cover of the shadow, no one noticed that a group of invisible "ghosts" were quietly approaching the mountain path.
There were two passages into the Cheyenne Mountain military base. One was located in the middle of the military base at the foot of the mountain, and the other was located on the cliff halfway up the mountain and could only be accessed by helicopter. No matter which passage it was, it needed to pass through a tunnel with a length of more than 500 meters.
On these tunnels, there were layers of security procedures. It was almost impossible to sneak in without alerting the UA.
Of course, all this was for conventional forces.
"Three o 'clock, US patrol spotted."
"Roger that. 'Ghost' is advancing."
A rustling sound came from the forest. The sound was hidden in the torrential rain and was as undetectable as a gentle breeze. Ghost slightly lowered the muzzle in her hand and took out a dagger from her waist. Under the cover of the night, she crept toward the outpost located halfway up the mountain.
Dropping an orbital airborne brigade into the heart of the United States was risky.
No matter how strong an army was, it was impossible for them to escape from the battle of supply. If the battle could not end in a short time, the National Guard stationed tens of kilometers away would come to support. Unless Celestial Trade sent more troops, the Orbital Airborne Brigade would have a high probability of being annihilated.
After all, this place was far away from the city, and the UA didn't have to worry about civilian casualties. With things like self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers, not to mention power armors, even tanks would find it difficult to retreat.
The entire battle plan took three whole days.
In addition to Celestial Trade Army and the Aerospace Department, Ghost Agents also rarely skipped intelligence support and directly participated in ground military operations, which showed the importance of this military operation to Celestial Trade.
From shooting to the end of the battle, there was only one hour left for Celestial Trade's soldiers.
In an hour, they must break through the strongest fortress in the world and force the UA President to surrender …
Whether they could end this war as soon as possible depended on this one move.
Buzz —
The raindrop was cut open.
A sharp blade pierced out from the darkness and accurately cut the fragile throat.
"Guuuu …!"
In the struggle, the dilated pupils gradually dilated, and the hands gradually dropped.
The "ghost" covered in a black carbon nano protective suit released the hand covering the mouth and gently placed the motionless body in the grass beside the mountain road.
She clenched her right hand into a fist and pointed forward with two fingers.
A group of soldiers slowly stood up from the shadows in tacit understanding and quickly advanced forward.
Along the way, all the sentries were quietly eliminated by the Ghost Agents. Under the double cover of the night and heavy rain, this force encountered almost no resistance.
Everything was just like in the exercise.
The terrain of Cheyenne Mountain was scanned by the Sky Eye X1 military satellite. All the soldiers participating in the operation had undergone countless drills in the virtual reality system on SS Expedition before they parachuted into Colorado.
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain. About 500 elite soldiers in K2 kinetic skeletons surrounded the radar station. The Ghost Agents were responsible for installing the silencing device, and the flanking troops used drones to drop more than a dozen EMP grenades into the radar station.
With the order, the UA soldiers stationed at the entrance of the radar station only heard a mosquito-like sound in their ears, and then they completely lost their sense of hearing.
The orange light flickered, and the light and shadow were distorted by the heavy rain.
Bullets shuttled freely in the radar station, and roars and gunshots were blocked. In the buzzing sound waves, blood-stained bodies fell one by one, and blood flowed into the mud pit along with the rain, dyeing the mud pit red.
The Celestial Trade soldiers who had already planned the action plan and quickly rushed into the radar station did not need to communicate at all. In the silent tacit understanding, they quickly eliminated the infantry company stationed at the radar station, as well as more than a dozen engineers of Unit 721 responsible for repairing the radar.
However, in the end, a fish slipped through the net.
A signal flare passed through the hazy curtain of rain and exploded into an orange-red light in the air. Almost at the same time, the siren echoed in every corner of the mountain. The early warning aircraft parked in the hangar took off urgently, armored vehicles in the tunnel quickly drove out, and groups of soldiers assembled. The entire Cheyenne Mountain shrouded in heavy rain was boiling.
Tatatat!
The orange-yellow trajectory tore through the rain curtain and pressed toward the mountain. The soldiers of the Celestial Trade Marines quickly set up temporary bunkers and deployed fixed anti-tank weapons. The roar of the helicopter propellers echoed in the mountains, and an encounter was imminent.
However, to the surprise of the UA military, the surrounded Celestial Trade soldiers did not panic as they originally thought. They did not immediately withdraw from the top of the mountain, nor did they attack the helicopter entrance on the cliff. Instead, they set up a line of defense on the top of the mountain and assumed a defensive posture.
What are they thinking?
All UA soldiers were thinking about this question.
Once the support company of the Colorado State National Guard completed its deployment, dozens of high-explosive rockets would cover the top of the mountain, and this group of difficult opponents would be torn into pieces. In the face of absolute firepower, even advanced technology could not save their lives!
However, soon, Celestial Trade answered this question with action.
"This is' Ghost ', the radar station has been paralyzed, and the secondary goal has been achieved. The action has been exposed, plan A failed, adopt plan B. "
"This is SS Expedition, the radar station has been confirmed destroyed, initiating plan B."
"Digging Warriors have entered the launch port, entering countdown …"
“5”
“4”
“3”
“2”
“1”
“0”
"… Begin airdrop!"
On the synchronous orbit, a behemoth was slowly drifting out from the launch port of SS Expedition. Under the pull of gravity, it slowly accelerated toward the blue planet below …
